I'd consider the laser blue, especially if it had a nice metallic flair to it.

But honestly GM already put the perfect clue on the Camaro....just made it hard to get.

Kinetic Blue on the HotWheels Camaro was the perfect color.

I vote for the extra cost blue that was offered on Corvettes a few years ago. Or ABM!

It was a pretty awesome color for sure.

I never saw enough of them at night to know that.....I know the current Topaz Blue has a hint of purple in it when it's in the shade.....but didn't know that about Laser Blue.

At any rate, I bet it would look good on a Camaro....just about every color looks good on a Camaro...lol

Thanks

Did they not ever make those ?....I noticed a few months back the chrome version was out.....but now I don't see those anymore....I reckon they are changing some stuff up.

I bet people would have liked the grey and black versions both !

I think I'm gonna agree with you....I like my blue to look blue at all times.....sunshine or shade....night or day....and Kinetic Blue did !

Yeah I wouldn't trade my ABM for any other color (except KB). I'm still amazed with ABM on sunny days, but on overcast days its not quite the same.

Maybe Chevy will surprise us and maybe for the last model year 5th gen (2015 or 2016 if we don't get the 6th gen then) and do a good medium metallic blue for us then as a nice going away present.

The picture of the vette looks a bit more on the grayish-blue side but I think that's because it's taken in the shade.

If GM / Chevrolet could see their way to a "silver blue" or "ice blue", I think they'd have a hit. It's even lighter than the 5th Gen. Aqua Blue Metallic. I'd definitely trade my 'vert in and have a car payment again to get that blue!

They need to do something since Green and Orange are discontinued. Need an option that stands out...

Definitely agree. Someone else earlier mentioned the different cool reds. They could do a late 60's Camaro pale yellow (butternut?), the silver blue, maybe a brown metallic, a pale green metallic. Not just the traditional colors. Sometimes simpler is better.

Here's a thread on this very topic from 1 year ago with the old 1967 GM color choice charts. NOW THOSE were some color choices - and lots of them.

That is real sharp, it's pretty similar to the Silver Topaz Metallic on the new Impala.....it would show the lines on the Camaro terrific.
